Some California cities used to have some of the worst smog in the world. These regulations and exceptions were put in place to curb that. And considering the trade tariffs on some vehicles the difference could be a wash in terms of margin f

This won't get a House vote in a Republican controlled House. But the senate vote gives you an indication on where the Republican party stands. They're not going to change their minds.

Some people think we're getting too many transplants and that regulating the development of new housing will somewhat curb that. There are some areas I've seen here that have grown in population so much that just getting acros

For some people the potential money they make justifies the change, the environment be damned. They'll bend over backwards to rationalize it with false equivalencies as either being benign or actually benevolent when in truth it is nei
